<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Thats particularly why I think it is good to spread the word about it. Perhaps more people will sign up for their hosting services.<p><hr></blockquote><p>Indeed. Although I think a toned-downed interface would suit the masses more. By masses, I mean the non-Mac fan boys that just want free email and don't care about showing off how many Powerbooks mom and dad bought them for their dorm room.<br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Did you even read the bit from the Register that I posted??<p><hr></blockquote><p>Yep, and I don't see how any of those concerns aren't a problem already.<br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Yes, I know, and don't complain about it here either I guess.<p><hr></blockquote><p>Complaining here is fine. You know I love to do it!<br><br>I signed up with Spymac when the 3.0 dealie came out. I tried it, kicked the tires, and didn't like it. So I don't use it. I occasionally stop in to check out desktop pictures and what not. But I would never use it for email. Just having "spymac" in the address is a little goofy for me. The whole package is just too juvenile to be taken seriously.<br><br>

Yes, that's the default option. Sam's complaint (and its true) is that the webmail will be slow compared to Google.<br><br>Everything, including the uploading of files to the spydisk or whatever, will be accessible from the user's control panel page via the web.<br><br>

Fair enough about the juvenile nature, some of it is sort of silly looking.<br><br>I don't really know how these cookies will work, but my interpretation of the the Register article is that it may be possible for spammers and/or law enforcement to get your personal information (name, address, email address, maybe more) combined with your web surfing habits via the Google search engine. That is most definitely not something that exists right now.<br><br>

Can't your IP address be sniffed when you surf the web anyway? And I'm sure that can be traced back to you, yes? So what's the big deal? Heck I know the IP address of everyone who loads a thread containing one of my stupid sig pics.<br><br>How interesting are your surfing habits to law enforcement? Unless you search sites about building bombs, why would they care what you're doing? I think you and some of these others who are concerned with privacy are flattering yourselves a little too much.<br><br>And so far, spammers haven't had much trouble getting a hold of personal info anyway. <br><br>

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>The site has minimal graphics and can load quickly on any connection. Not so with Spymac... too many bells and whistles.<br><p><hr></blockquote><p>It loads pretty quick for me. You know you can turn off that whole sidebar on the left too.<br><br><br>My uptime is longer than yours, therefore my e-penis is longer.

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Does the SpyMac mail have a webmail interface for when one is travelling?<p><hr></blockquote><p>SpyMac has had web mail for a couple years now... so yes, you can use it via the web or POP email.<br><br><br>My uptime is longer than yours, therefore my e-penis is longer.

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Sam's complaint (and its true) is that the webmail will be slow compared to Google.<p><hr></blockquote><p>How do you know that? Google's service doesn't even exist yet to test. I use the SpyMac mail and it's MUCH faster that Apple's web mail, and about the same as Yahoo's web-based mail service.<br><br><br>My uptime is longer than yours, therefore my e-penis is longer.

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>I think you and some of these others who are concerned with privacy are flattering yourselves a little too much.<br><p><hr></blockquote><p>I agree. I think people go overboard a bit with that. <br><br>I get a kick out of people who refuse to buy over the internet because they're concerned about privacy and security - and yet they're perfectly willing to hand their credit card and drivers license over to some pimple-faced college kid in a restaurant who disappears with them in the back for 5 minutes. I can just imagine what someone could do with that information in 5 minutes!<br><br><br>My uptime is longer than yours, therefore my e-penis is longer.
